A blast of chilly air is entering Virginia tonight, and below average temperatures are expected for the next several days, despite plenty of sunshine. The 30-year normals are a high in the mid 60s and low in the low 40s. Tonight, a Freeze Watch is in effect from Buckingham County south and west. Showers will taper later this evening and skies should begin to clear prior to sunrise. Gusty breezes will dominate Tuesday, and skies should be partly sunny with afternoon temperatures in the mid 50s. The next couple of nights should produce temperatures in the low to mid 30s in city, with outlying areas dipping into the 20s!
Milder later this week, then another cold front...
Temperatures should rebound on Friday, reaching the mid 60s during the afternoon and readings on Saturday could jump above 70 degrees before the next front comes rumbling through. This will cause temperatures to take another dip, but the next surge probably won't be as chilly as the current one.
Election Day and beyond...
High pressure will inch off the coast in time for Election Day, leading to an increase in moisture...at least clouds, and possibly some rain. Let's hope any rain holds off until after the polls close. An upper ridge builds over the East next week, moderating our temperatures. However, a strong cold front appears on the model data, due to arrive either late Friday or next weekend with the coldest air of the season thus far. Stay tuned...
